Thursday’s interview (car dealership) was followed, that evening, by a flurry of calls regarding a different job. Three people from the same agency were all calling me on behalf of the same client (insurance company). Eventually they assigned just one guy to be my point of contact, and I sent him an updated version of my resume and completed a test. None of this has led to any followup in the week-and-a-half since, although when I phoned the guy on Friday he said the client (insurance company) hadn’t given the agency a reply yet.
On a happier note, the Bus Stop costumes are coming along, in spite of the theatre sewing machine, which has defeated all our efforts to make it work. One of the other volunteers says she’ll bring her sewing machine. In the meantime I’ve been hand-sewing the first waitress uniform, have got it to the point where it can be tried on, and both the actress and the director seem happy with it. I’ve embroidered little fake pocket-squares with the waitresses’ names—will pin the pockets in place at final fitting.
I still kind of want to put white cuffs on the (short) sleeves, but Livia (head of costuming) has pointed out that they won’t be visible—the actress playing Alma has a lot of arm tattoos, and I’d already suggested she wear a cardigan over her uniform (justified in-story as the play takes place during the winter); and apparently the other actress has one as well so she’ll be covered-up too. We’ve got a large box of cardigans.
Fun things I found on YouTube in the past few days:
Another episode of Detective: Ngaio Marsh’s Death In Ecstasy, featuring Joss Ackland, Roger Delgado, and Ronald Lacey among the suspects. I was pretty sure none of them were the murderer because they were all too obvious, but the ending took me by surprise. I’d actually noticed the clue earlier, but (rot-13’d spoiler) gbbx vg sbe n zvfgnxr ol gur fpevcgjevgref, orpnhfr zl snvgu va gur novyvgl bs ‘fvkgvrf Oevgvfu gi gb trg Nzrevpna qvnyrpgf evtug vf cerggl ybj.
I didn’t even know there’d been a Sonic the Hedgehog tv show in the nineties, much less that singer Long John Baldry voiced the main villain and that at least one fanvidder has taken full advantage of this: Dr. Robotnik Sings ‘It Still Ain’t Easy.’
